Dingjiangshan(4)
"God... Princess God bless?" Looking at the woman in red who was getting closer and closer, Han Shu felt her body stiff and couldn't help but take two steps back. For a moment, she even forgot about Chu Zhao's appearance in front of her. Chu Ling frowned slightly, stopped a few steps away, looked at Duke Xiangguo who was standing in front of the gate full of surprise, "Uncle, I have only been away from Pingjing for a few years? Now the officials in Pingjing are so brave, even the third-rank official dares to pretend at will?"
The Duke of Xiangguo glanced at Han Shu and smiled and said, "I welcome Your Majesty, Princess. Princess is joking. This Lord Han is a serious third-rank official, so how can he pretend to be?"
"If he wasn't a fake, how could he not even salute when he saw His Majesty? Or was he blind?" Chu Ling said coldly.
Han Shu felt a confusion in his mind. He then reacted when he heard this. He bowed deeply to Chu Zhao and Chu Ling without much thought, "I bow to Your Majesty, I will bow to Your Highness, Your Highness!" Why did the emperor suddenly come here? Is this all just a trap? The most important thing is, why did Princess Shenyou suddenly appear?! Didn't it mean that Princess Shenyou was heartbroken because her son-in-law died and had already gone to the foreign land?
As soon as he looked up, he suddenly met Chu Ling's eyes with a smile, and Han Shu suddenly burst into a cold sweat.
Chu Zhao snorted lightly and said, "Sister, this is Lord Han, he is the disciple of Prime Minister Shangguan."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at Han Shu in front of him, "Prince Shangguan's disciple?" After a while, he said lightly: "Mr. Shangguan's vision is not very good." Han Shu immediately blushed. Princess Shenyou's words were said to be dizzy on the face of Shangguan Chengyi. In fact, he was not saying that he was not worthy of being Shangguan Chengyi's disciple. Just looking at the Liuyue Sword that was shocking the world on Princess Shenyou's waist, Han Shu didn't dare to refute it, and could only endure the sarcasm.
Chu Ling and Chu Zhao walked side by side to the gate of the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm back." Duke Xiangguo nodded happily, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is also..." Duke Xiangguo was excited and a little incoherent. If the princess and Your Majesty did not come back in time today, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chu Zhao smiled and said, "It made the Duke worry."
Xiangguo said justice: "Your Majesty is so serious, Your Majesty is relieved. Your Highness Ning has just left my house."
Chu Ling turned his head and looked at Han Shu with a smile, "Mr. Han, what do you want to do with such a big battle?" Han Shu stuttered, "This... I am... me..." Chu Ling said helplessly, "I will say Lord Shangguan has a bad attitude." Chu Zhao smiled and said, "The emperor is right." Chu Ling looked at Han Shu's face darkened, "Random! Lead troops to besiege the Duke's Mansion, who will give you the courage!"
Han Shu finally came to his senses and knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, it was hard to say whether he could leave here alive today. He hurriedly said, "Princess, I... I am for Your Majesty. Your Majesty has not been in court and I have not seen the court officials for nearly two months. I am worried about Your Majesty's safety, but Duke Xiangguo and King Ning of the Palace control the palace made it impossible for him to come to the palace to meet him. How can I not worry? Although I am rude, I am for Your Majesty's heart to be able to learn from you."
Chu Ling was a little surprised that this man was quite straightforward, "So, you'd better make it for His Majesty."
Han Shu said tremblingly: "Just, that's right."
Chu Ling almost laughed angry, "Very good, in the past two years... Pingjing officials have grown up." Listening to her words, Han Shu felt her scalp numb. Chu Ling looked at him calmly and said, "Since that's the case, Your Majesty has come out, can Lord Han go back?"
Han Shu quickly glanced at the people at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and hesitated for a moment and said, "I... escort Your Majesty back to the palace?"
Chu Ling sneered and said without saying anything. Chu Zhao said coldly: "The emperor's sister has just returned. I want to go to the princess's mansion first."
Chu Ling said: "Hear? Go back and tell Lord Bai that I...wait for him in the princess's mansion."
Han Shu still didn't have the courage to test the bottom line of Princess Shenyou, even though he had obviously more soldiers and horses in his hands than Princess Shenyou. He quickly left in shame with his people. Looking at Han Shu's back as he took the people away, Duke Xiangguo frowned and said, "Princess, why did you let them go?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "What's the point of a little fish and shrimp? I want to see, how many bravery have these people... taken away in the past few years!" Although she said this with a smile, everyone in front of her couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart. She remembered the methods and decisive decisions of this princess a few years ago, and silently bowed to the people who were about to be unlucky.
The Duke of Xiangguo nodded and said, "Your Majesty and the Princess are exhausted all the way. Why not go to the mansion to rest first?" Although there are people in the Shenyou Princess's Mansion, they have not been back for three years. I am afraid it is not easy to rest immediately when I go back. Chu Ling shook his head and said, "I'll go see Lord Zhu first. Your Majesty and the Duke may as well go to the Ning Prince's Mansion to sit first."
Chu Zhao nodded, "Sister A Ling, be careful."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "You should be careful, but I believe those people are not so brave enough to take action in broad daylight." Xiangguo said justice: "Princess, don't worry."
Zhu's mansion is not too far from the Duke of Xiangguo. Chu Ling passed by and saw that there were many people outside the Duke of Xiangguo. Although it was not as open and persistent as outside the Duke of Xiangguo, there were many people hiding in secret. Chu Ling did not go through the main entrance and jumped directly from the courtyard wall of the back door to the Zhu's mansion.
The entire mansion seemed to be as if there was no one. Chu Ling walked towards the main courtyard of the mansion with familiarity. When he entered the yard, he found that there were actually guests in the mansion. Lord Zhu's room door was open, but there were many people standing at the door. A middle-aged man angrily said to the person opposite the mansion: "King Yichang, what do you want to do?! My father is seriously ill and can't work hard!"
But he was in front of him, and wanted to break in but he was powerless. The few Zhu family members following him were also full of anger, obviously the opposite guests were very dissatisfied. A man's voice came from the facade and said, "Mr. Zhu, Duke Xiangguo and King Ning were inappropriate in his house arrest. Do you, as an old minister of the three dynasties, really want to be accomplices for the tiger?"
It was quiet inside, without the voice of Lord Zhu.
The middle-aged man outside said angrily: "Shameless! You know what my father...what do you want to do?"
The man smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu is so serious. We are also for the sake of His Majesty and the Tianqi. I hope Master Zhu can cooperate with us to rescue His Majesty." The middle-aged man sneered, "My father is lying on the bed now. How can I help you rescue His Majesty?" The man said, "I would like to hand over the seal of the Privy Council."
"Get out!" Finally, Lord Zhu's weak voice came from inside, "The late emperor, and the princess trust me and entrusted me with important tasks. I... Even if I die, I will not let you thieves succeed!"
The people inside were suddenly a little angry and sneered, "Don't Mr. Zhu think about it for himself or your children and grandchildren? You and I know whether Your Majesty is in the palace now. Do you think... Your Majesty can come back? I advise you to think more about yourself."
"Get out!"
"Old man! I don't know how to be proud!"
"What do you want to do?!" Everyone outside the door looked inside and wanted to break in with a frightened look.
"King Yichang, you dare!"
The yard was suddenly noisy, and no one noticed even Chu Ling appeared.
"King Yichang? What is it?" A crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in the noise, but it clearly came into everyone's ears. Everyone was stunned, and the people inside were even more furious, "Rareless?! Who dared to be rude to me outside!"
"You come out and see, and you'll know who I am soon."
After a moment, everyone who almost fought at the door turned around and looked at the yard, only then did they realize that there was a slim figure in red clothes in the yard. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with the boss?"
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, and soon his face showed ecstasy, "Princess! Please save your father!"
Chu Ling walked over, and the people at the door couldn't help but make way. When several guards came to their senses and wanted to stop them, Chu Ling had already waved her sleeves and swept the person out, "Get out!"
The people in the room also turned around and looked at the door. Seeing Chu Ling standing at the door, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Who are you?"
Chu Ling chuckled, "Who do you think I am?"
"Master...Princess..." Mr. Zhu on the bed struggled to get up. Chu Ling flashed and had already entered the room. He directly passed by the man and walked to the edge of the bed. "Don't worry, Lord Zhu, I'm back." Mr. Zhu's eyes were a little red and he said with a trembling hand: "It's good to come back...it's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Chu Ling sighed lightly, "I'm late to come back, I'm burdened by the old man."
"Are you the God-Blessing Princess?!" the man behind him said sternly.
Chu Ling turned around, his face slightly darkened and kicked the person directly. The man flew out of the door and landed on the ground outside the yard. The guards outside the door hurried forward and helped him up. Chu Ling also walked to the door and said to the middle-aged man, "Please come and see the boss."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the doctor has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Thank you, Princess!"
Chu Ling waved his hand and looked indifferently at the man wearing a gorgeous dress who had just gotten up from the ground, "King Yichang, what is it?"
The man looked very ugly and pointed at Chu Ling and said, "I am a royal family member, and I am still a princess. Even if you are a princess, you can't be so rude!" Chu Ling smiled and said, "Uncle Wang? You probably forgot that I am not only a princess... I am the regent princess of the Apocalypse! Who are you!"
The man gritted his teeth, yes... Three years ago, when Princess Shenyou left, His Majesty was still young, and the princess just entrusted several old ministers and King Ning to assist in the administration, and did not return the administration to the little emperor. So she was still the regent princess of the Apocalypse.
King Yichang said: "King Ning and Duke Xiangguo put down his Majesty in house arrest and refused to allow court officials to meet. What is wrong with the king's helping the evil king?"
Chu Ling couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "King Ning and Duke Xiangguo put His Majesty under house arrest? It seems that the news about King Yichang is not very good. I have only seen Your Majesty before I came to Zhu's Mansion."
